Our home is special to us and we hope it will be to you as well. We are located on Swift Run, which is a stocked trout stream- you will need a Virginia fishing license and trout stamp, stocking is usually Oct-Feb. Outside we have a patio to enjoy sitting and relaxing listening to the river and grilling out along with 2 wood fire pits. Inside you can hear the river from both bedrooms.
We have a fully stocked kitchen available for your use. One bedroom has a Queen sized bed, and the other has 2 twin beds. Although our home is small, it's very cozy and comfortable. Kitchen towels, dish washing detergent, trash bags, hand soap and a dishwasher are provided for your use. Bathroom towels and wash cloths are also provided with bedroom linens. We have 3 smart tvs and a DVD player along with high speed internet (100mbps) for your convenience. There are 2 outside fire pits, we try to keep wood there, but it's not always guaranteed.
We have a pack and play (and sheet) and high chair in the closet of the big bedroom. Other items may be available upon request.
We do welcome dogs for a $25 pet fee. No CATS.
We are 12 miles from the entrance to skyline drive and with in 30 miles to UVA. Conveniently located!

This beautiful home was the perfect place for our stay! It was so peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by nature. The creek was magical, and our dog Maverick has the best time playing in it. We loved relaxing here and exploring Shenandoah National Park during the day. This was the perfect getaway, and I’m so grateful for the entire experience. I’ll cherish these memories forever!

Wonderful Holla

We had a wonderful stay. Not sure how the creek runs all year but in the spring the sound is amazing. Everything is there you will need for a very comfortable stay. If we are ever back in that part of the world we will certainly see if there is any availability.

Visit to Shenandoah

We chose this location because it was midway between the park and we spent one day exploring the south side of Shenandoah National Park and the next day exploring the north. The house was a quiet getaway with a beautiful stream running right next to it. It was perfect for our little excursion!

Great family mountain getaway

Our family had the best time at this cabin. We had a few days off from school and wanted to enjoy the great weather and do some hiking. The house was bigger than I expected, great location, and very clean. Bonus was being able to bring our dogs. We are hoping to come back again in the spring and do some more trails nearby. Def check out the Glasshouse winery if you visit and Preddy Creek Trail.

Nice place by creek

The house was dated but well supplied. It was comfortable and we loved to sit by the creek with the fall leaves. Only couple minor issues. The bed squeaked and the shower had lower water pressure. Other than that very nice house and close access to the national park.

Cute and cozy!

My fiancé and I stayed at the house for one night during a trip to Shenandoah, and the location was very convenient and close to the park. We chose this rental because of the stream running by, and we loved having a fire down by the water. Overall the rental was exactly what we were looking for - cute, cozy, and a nice escape! Our one complaint is that the shower had a strong sulfur smell when running the hot water.

Perfect little house

This was the perfect house to stay in while visiting Shenandoah National Park. Only a short drive from one of the entrances, it made our day trips to the park much more manageable (with a baby and two dogs!). Loved the trees and the stream behind the house. Also, we forgot a few things after we left and were told immediately by the host, who offered to ship them for us. SO kind and appreciated. Overall, 5 stars. Thanks for a wonderful visit to your beautiful state. Will recommend to others.

Never got to stay

We arrived at 230 pm. Had sent a message 3 hours before we got there. I was having a hard time finding the address. She responded quickly. Then she said if i have any more questions just let her. So i said yes how do we get in the house. I heard nothing we got to the house there is no cell reception. We looked everywhere and i had checked all over the verbo site for check in. I couldn't find anything. We kept going back in town to check messages and use the restroom. Nothing. Finally i called verbo hoping they could help. They tried reaching her for i know 30 min. After dealing with them for a while we told them we wanted th cancel. Tbry offered to book a hotel room but we knew a place a little bit away to go to. It was very difficult to gey them to cancel our booking. Finally they said the house owner has to agree to cancel. She did, amd she was very nice. Im not sure what eent wrong with check in and i wish she would have just responded we really wanted to stay there. But I am thankful we got our money back and still had a wonderful get away regardless of the frustration. We likely will never use VERBO again i think it must be for computer savy people.

Perfect Shenandoah Base Camp

Dana’s place was a perfect base camp for our trip to Shenandoah. Super easy access to go north or south in the park and a very peaceful environment during our downtime. We loved the outdoor fire pits and being able to listen to the stream at night made for such a lovely stay!

Great place near Shenandoah National Park

We spent the day hiking on Skyline drive and retreated to this lovely bungalow next to a babbling stream. After cooking dinner in the grill we sat and talked around the fire pit. We appreciated the farm fresh eggs and all the other comforts of home. If you are planning a trip to the park, this is where you want to stay!

Shenandoah wildflower photography

We spent 4 days photographing the spring wildflowers in Shenandoah National Park. The house was conveniently located for us to drive to the park. We hiked in the mornings and visited a few wineries in the afternoon. Early Mountain and Glass House wineries are very close. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect base for exploring!

We had such a wonderful stay! This charming house was the perfect base for us as we explored Shenandoah NP and Monticello with our 2 dogs. The home itself is very comfortable and clean, and the property is lovely with the steam running alongside it. We even had the luck to watch a black bear cross through the backyard one morning! Would absolutely stay here again!

My husband and I stayed here for one night for a weekend trip to the national park and wish we could’ve stayed a bit longer! It was a cute little home. We originally were going to bring our pup and know he would’ve loved it too. If we come back to visit the park we will definitely be coming here!

Brook House

Very clean, great yard for the dogs, and a gurgling brook along one side of the property. Outside there are three different areas with chairs and fire pits. It looks like Dana is a gardener and we look forward to returning in the spring to check it out. It was located only a mile from my daughter's house and so convenient.
